Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Caniçada

Relatively easy access (mountain roads), located in a small village 5 minutes' drive from a supermarket and cafes/pizzeria, stone house completely remodeled inside, equipped kitchen, well-decorated living room, a large balcony with a spectacular view and a very cool pool with ice-cold water.

This was a truly incredible stay and highly recommended. The pictures don't do this home justice in terms of the natural beauty that surrounds it. There are gorgeous hikes right out of the gate, excellent restaurants in the village with welcoming locals and we loved the bakery that's just up the road. We had three local dogs that hung out with us for our entire stay and even joined us on all of our hikes. The interior of the home is rustic but immaculate. The lofted bed is cozy and the bedding provided is very comfortable. The only thing that could have been nice to have would be a couple of sun loungers as sitting outside and enjoying the stunning views is what this place is all about. Highly recommended.

Five stars to Casa de Cardido and to Rui and Alexandra for being wonderful hosts. We were a little late checking in, but Rui greeted us with a smile and a very generous tabua of local cheeses and meats. The hosts go above anything expected, with a sound system at the pool, exercise equipment, and fresh bread delivered daily. The house is a traditional Portuguese home - and it feels like a “home” not a rental. We spent two weeks here and it felt like staying with family. I noticed that one review commented on how close the highway is. Please know this is not a problem. You can see the highway when approaching the home from the road, but you cannot hear it and it does not interfere with the experience. This is very high quality stay with caring and involved hosts that will make sure you have all you need. I highly recommend.

What a wonderful place, cozy and peaceful. It has a great feel to it, we enjoyed our stay greatly.

Everything was perfect, Sylvie always responded promptly to our questions, gave great tips for trips. Thank you

We loved Jose Mario's house. Everything was very clean and tidy, the neighborhood was very quiet, the beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were sparkling, lots of light, parking at the door and comfortable to see the north of Portugal. Everything you could want when you rent a house on Airbnb at a more than reasonable price. Just perfect.

loved it! a piece of heaven(: very quite, the prettiest pool plus a waterfall

We stayed for one week in June with our dog. It was a wonderful experience: - Village: it's a tiny village with a few people. If you want to recover from the city noise it's a perfect place. There is no bars or shops, so be prepared and take all the necessary food with you. People are nice. There are a lot of cows! They are friendly and beautiful. - House territory: it was the most beautiful view from the house that I've ever saw - giant mountain in front of every window. Super calm. Territory has a fence, it was enough for our dog to stay inside but there are holes so be prepared if your dog tends to run away. There is a bbq outside. - House: it was just awesome - everything you need you will find: enough of blankets, pillows, comfortable coach, dishwasher. Cooking pans are not the best, but enough. I liked the interior very much - it's a lot of space in the living room, giant dining table, in one of the bedrooms you have mountain view. Strongly recommend. Thank you!

Aurora was a fabulous host, very accommodating & friendly. We loved our time staying at Casa Lima. The place was in a private and beautiful location, which hosted a group of 11 people. We enjoyed having fresh bread delivered by Aurora daily, which made for a lovely experience. The place was clean and tidy with lots of space. All bedrooms had bathrooms, the kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals, and we enjoyed swimming in the pool.

We lived a few days in a real haven of peace. Past the aspects, let's say amazing, of the path to the accommodation, we were charmed by the hospitality of our hosts, Lise and Patrick. The dogs are very affectionate and quiet. The horses are not left out either (and a little pranky). The totally free access to green spaces, the pool, the barbecue area is an undeniable plus. Lovers of nature and peace, look no further for your place. In addition, housed in this natural environment, you will have plenty of time to explore the surrounding nature, on foot or by car. We had a nice stay at La Quinta. We'll be able to come back someday ...

Ideal place to relax and contemplate nature.

Our family stay at Casa Da Touça was wonderful! The home was perfect, it had everything we needed for our week stay. The beds were so comfortable. The house itself was very comfortable and spacious. The pool was spotless and well maintained. Our kids swam daily for hours and had so much fun. We also spent every night on the patio watching the sun set across the mountains. Maria is so kind and welcoming, we were greeted with such hospitality and a delicious spread of pastries and breads. We felt like family. She is so passionate about her guests comforts. Maria is very responsive to any questions. She provided a number of guidebooks and pamphlets of places and restaurants to visit close by. Casa Da Touça is a gem and we highly recommend it!!

A Hidden Gem in Nature! We had an unforgettable stay at this stunning farmhouse! The setting is absolutely serene—surrounded by lush greenery and fresh air. The highlight for us was definitely the natural water tank. It felt like our own private spring-fed pool—so refreshing and peaceful, especially in the mornings. The farmhouse itself is beautifully maintained, combining rustic charm with modern comforts. The interiors were cozy and spotless, and the kitchen was well-equipped for cooking meals. Waking up to the sound of birds and sipping coffee on the porch while looking out over the landscape was pure magic. Our host was warm, welcoming, and very responsive, offering great local tips and ensuring we had everything we needed. If you’re looking to disconnect from the hustle and reconnect with nature, this place is a dream. We can’t wait to return!

A beautiful house, close to Braga. Very friendly, we repeat for sure!!!

We had a wonderful stay at Casa de Vilar de Rei where we spent two weeks as a family. If you are looking for a peaceful oasis surrounded by nature and a place to completely switch off from the world, this is it. Marta and her father Daniel were the perfect hosts - responsive, helpful and kind. Our 1-year-old son had the time of his life riding Daniel's tractor, meeting the chickens, and picking fresh fruit and vegetables from the garden. The pool is shared with the other house but there is plenty of space for everyone and we had very nice neighbours during our stay. There are lots of places to sit and relax or read in the garden - day beds, swings, benches, or the veranda with a beautiful view of the surrounding fields. The garden is also full of herbs and lemon trees. The house inside is very well equipped, and the bed linen and towels are immaculate. We had a fantastic time and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this little piece of countryside heaven. Thank you Marta and Daniel!

I had a fantastic stay near Esposende – this place was exactly what I needed for a relaxing getaway. From the very start, the hosts were incredibly helpful and welcoming, making sure I had everything I needed and offering great local tips. The accommodation itself was spotless, stylish, and really comfortable – even better than the photos! It had everything I could have wanted for a peaceful break, with a calm, laid-back atmosphere that made it easy to unwind. If you’re looking for somewhere to switch off and recharge, this is absolutely the place. I’d definitely come back again. Highly recommended!

nice place to be and to visit Geres park

Very nice house, with very good taste! We appreciate the kindness of the small details such as the cake on our arrival, the appetizers, teas, coffee... everything was perfect!

Thank you Miguel for an amazing stay in your paradise! ✨ Miguel is a perfect host, very helpful with an incredible good taste. This house is a reflection of a paradise and I was so happy on my holidays there. River, fireplaces, and a very comfortable tiny house to enjoy nature! Miguel, thank you for the stay! I highly🥳 recommend this place! I make sure to leave the best comment I can. The stay was amazing at your property and the photos do not do justice to the surroundings and comfort. He really thought of every detail to convey peace in this place and be a brilliant host. Thank you for all the details and see you soon at Villa La Finca.

What a WONDERFUL stay at this charming farmhouse! From the moment we arrived it was perfect! The property is so beautiful with its lovely gardens, fruit trees & the view of the mountains. We spent the majority of our time, when we were not out exploring, enjoying the pool & having all our dinners outside under the covered outdoor grilling area. We took advantage of the grill & enjoying pizza (yes, there is a fabulous pizza oven!). The house was so comfortable, clean & the kitchen had everything we needed & more. Carlos & Christina are stunning hosts....so kind & friendly & gave us so many suggestions of what to do in the area...restaurants, villages, waterfalls, etc. We CAN'T WAIT to return! Obrigada for a wonderful stay! (note - if you are driving be mindful as directly accessing the property can be tight if you have a larger car)

Accommodation with great conditions to receive 5 people. The rooms are spacious and well ventilated with a phenomenal view of the Cávado River. Well-equipped kitchen. We were able to prepare full meals without any problems. The location, right by the river, allows us to be surrounded by nature. The host's readiness to answer any questions or requests throughout the stay should be highlighted.

I had a wonderful stay at this cozy stone house. The atmosphere is super quiet, ideal for those seeking rest amidst nature, and the house was impeccably clean and well equipped. The host Célia was extremely friendly and attentive, welcomed us with great cordiality and shared great tips for tours around the region. In addition, he was always available for any support we needed. I highly recommend and would definitely return!

Fantastic property. House itself is immaculate, exactly as represented in the photos. However outdoor area is where to spend your time. Amazing pool area, outdoor kitchen / BBQ, massive table under pergola to laze the hot days away, and spend every evening cooking, eating and just having a good time. We survived the ‘great Spain and Portugal power outage’ while there, and it was probably our best night - BBQ, candles !. Max 15-20 minutes into Geres National Park for stellar hiking. Cannot recommend this property more 👍👍

Carla is an excellent host and the restored mill is a dream by the river. Transparent water invites you to bathe and have breakfast with your feet in the water. The house is quite comfortable and well decorated. The photos can't capture the beauty of the place! The Caneiro restaurant, a few minutes' walk away, is excellent.
